I tried it today and when I click on the Tivo channel I get a box asking me to enter the MAK. When I put in the MAK I get an error saying content unavailable, make sure server is running. What server would it be talking about? Does this connect to the mind server? Do I need Tivo desktop running on my network (cuz I don't use it)?

yes, I have a Premiere and it just started working all on its own which probably means that Tivo fixed the problem. Make sure you put in you MAC from your Tivo in the plugins preferences. This plugin only seems to work with the regular Plex client and not the "Plex Home Theater" client that those with a Plex Pass use. The Plex developers did something to break this plugin in that release and since this is "abandoned ware" unless someone else picks it up it will stay broke.

On a Mac, right click on the tivo.bundle, get info, at the bottom it will show users and groups. You may have to Unlock to change this. so, unlock, it will ask for username and password, then change or add user and group. click the lock when done.

It really depends on the version of Plex- server and client, you are running. I have moved to the 64 bit version of both and now tivo-plugin no-longer works for me. I was hoping some Python developer would pick up this abandoned plugin and update it but so far no-one on the Plex forums seem to be interested. The original author is nowhere to be found.
It is up for grabs. Anyone interested here?

The majority of the plex channel was rewritten. I wish I knew how to use the TiVo To Go API to seek into a video and just transfer a part of it. And it would be great if you could start a transfer of a recording that is in progress. Every time I try the TiVo API responds with the fact it is not authorized.

Clearly the TiVo Stream is capable of doing all of the above, but the APIs are not publically exposed.

Enjoy. :-)

How difficult would it be to make this work on a Mac since it is related, a derivative of BSD?
And did you post this in the developer section of the Plex Forum?

I have it partially working on OSX already. Finding the TiVo via bonjour just doesn't work yet. The downloading and immediate streaming is functional though. [ The preliminary code for OSX is not yet checked in. ]

I use this in all the projects in my sig to find TiVos, on all platforms. It will run whether or not there's already a system service binding port 5353, and it implements the whole zeroconf/rendevous/bonjour stack in itself, with no dependencies outside the standard library.

I also have non-zeroconf fallback methods of TiVo detection which you can check out in the projects in my sig.
